San Diego Day One - Afternoon Exploring La Jolla
We had parked by a mueseum, who had a sculpture made out of kayaks.

I had one more spot for us to check out today. Children's Pool La Jolla.
The Children's Pool in La Jolla, also known as Casa Beach, is a small beach area partially protected by a seawall. Originally intended as a safe swimming area for children, it has become a popular spot for harbor seals and sea lions, especially during pupping season. The beach is known for its picturesque views and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike
it was to be a 10 minute walk from where we were but we were being lazy! So we drove. We lucked out in being able to find street parking both times. I think it helped that it was getting later in the day, folks were heading out from being at the beach all day.

This area was more of a place to swim and hang out. It was also busier. We just checked out the birds all swaming on a rock.

And the few seals that were sun baithing.

There was a cove area that was protected by this wall that you could walk out on to see the seals and just get a good view. It was VERY beaten up by the weather and had lots of bird poop.

There was also this bird trying to hang out on the rocks, and there were these sea gulls dive bombing the bird! Morgan and Gwen were really enjoying watching the drama of the 2.
This stop was shorter of a stop. But still fun to see!.
I had one more place to hit but it was Sunny Jim's Sea Cave and we would have been walking and we were tired from it being our first day and the hike this morning. So, we skipped it.
I suggested on last stop before we headed back to the hotel. Stella Jean’s Ice Cream. This was another find from You Tube. It was 10 minute drive south of where we were but it was only 5:00, so we had time.

This was in Pacific Beach area, which had a beach town vibe to it. Andy wanted to walk around a bit but we were all not feeling it.

Ice Cream Flavors by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
They had alot of different flavor ice creams.
I got the Yuzu Ice Cream and it was so good! I loved it. But I had to get the kiddie scoop as I was still full from our burrito. All of the flavors were great and we talked about possibly coming again. But that didn't happen.
After our ice cream we hopped back in the car and headed back to the hotel. We just relaxed and went to bed early!
Up next... Nerdy Day...
